    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernias present significant clinical challenges.
    • Traditional surgical repairs can be lengthy and associated with considerable patient recovery times.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel antireflux prosthesis in surgical treatment.
    • To assess the impact of the prosthesis on operative time and patient recovery compared to conventional methods.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 174 patients who underwent surgery with the antireflux prosthesis between 1973 and 1982.
    • Follow-up included Upper Gastrointestinal (UGI) radiological studies to assess prosthesis placement and patient outcomes.
    • Perioperative nursing care protocols were standardized, mirroring traditional hiatal hernia repair.

    Main Results:

    • The antireflux prosthesis demonstrated excellent results with no mortalities. Operative time averaged approximately 20 minutes, significantly reducing surgical duration.
    • Complications were minimal, including one prosthesis displacement requiring replacement and one spleen laceration necessitating splenectomy.
    • Transient dysphagia occurred in 50 patients (2-6 weeks), resolving without long-term issues. Prosthesis migration above the diaphragm occurred in 23 asymptomatic patients, remaining functional at the gastroesophageal junction.

    Conclusions:

    • The antireflux prosthesis provides a simplified and effective surgical solution for hiatal hernias.
    • The prosthesis is associated with reduced operative times, minimal mortality, and manageable complications.
    • Patients experience a shorter, less traumatic recovery compared to traditional hiatal hernia repair techniques.
